The respiratory rate NOTES and depth will usually be increased at the beginning and at later stages become slow and gasping. Blood pressure is usually normal, especially in the mild or moderately severe cases, although the pulse rate is usually more rapid than normal. 3.3 Treatment of Exposure: INHALATION: remove patient to fresh air; get immediate medical attention. INGESTION: Call physician immediately. Until physician arrives, take the following steps: a. Provide for inhalation of amyl nitrite vapor from ampules crushed in a handkerchief and held to the nose of the victim. b. Induce vomiting unless patient is unconscious. (Gastric lavage should be employed by, or under the supervision of, a physician.) c. Keep patient warm and quiet until medical attention arrives.
